especially if we are projecting what they are going to be in 3-4 years.
A stronger faster 6 ft 4 220+ pound Juraj with his creativity, hands, and motor. Throwback Jagr vibes there.

Dont agree at all, did you watch the game or just hockey db?
I'd say they do have similar potential. But Svech was further ahead in his development, less of a project, maybe a little safer. Otherwise though, I do think they have similar potential. Someone else mentioned Rantanen. I don't know, I mean, there's no exact comparison. He's got different aspects relatable. But all around he probably is the best "power winger" prospect since Laf, Svech, Tkachuks. etc... Just broadly speaking.

Ok I’m way off base then as I viewed Rantanen as a better player than Svechnikov ?

Slaf looks involved every shift and hunts the puck, plays with a lot of desire and emotion.. He's definitely not a perimeter player; looks like he's going to be a fantastic get. Great hands, hard shot, slick passing.
We see it too. But the formula Montreal Canadiens + first overall pick + very talented Shane Wright + Canadian wonder boy + center is hart to beat.

Do you have any comment to the fact that Slafkovsky looked awesome against a strong Canada with NHLers? I guess that was also a "fluke" ?

He looked ok. Had some good flashes offensively but other than that, he wasn’t dominant like Nemec was.
Looking awesome is not quantifiable therefore not valid for data analysis.
He is generating 2.67 shots per game, which implies about a goal per 4 games. So far he has 0 in 3 games, which is not a fluke. Scoring 7 goals in 7 games is a massive fluke.
His best comparison style wise is Jagr. He has that same look on the ice.
**note this is not saying he will reach Jagr potential...just that he looks like him***

No reason to trade for Fiala
Gaudreau - Hughes - Slafkovsky
Bratt - Hischier - Sharangovich

I'd rather pay Fiala 7 than Gaudreau 11. When you take into account age it's a no brainer

Naah Gaudreau is worth it. He'll be better longer if I had to bet - players like him tend to age really well.

Bratt needs money
Mercer will need money in 2 years
Devils need to do something about goaltending
Devils need a 3rd pair
Devils aren't exactly swimming in cap space any more when you add the above upgrades

Gaudreau and Hughes on the same line won’t work . Both are elite carrying the puck through the neutral zone and entering the O zone to set up offence . It’s a pipe dream . Flames won’t let Johnny walk

Good that the Habs don't need to have their next 1st selection in the NHL next season then.
I like the Svechnikov comparaison as well, even tho it's hard because of the different league.
I have no doubt Slafkovsky would've been a top producer in the OHL this year.
